Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPLs) are now part of our environment—and increasingly, part of our bodies. But what does this mean for you? The final conference of the EU-funded PlasticHeal project, “Plastic inside us: Unveiling the hidden impact of micro- and nanoplastics” offers a unique opportunity to understand how this issue affects our health, our policies, and our communities, and what we can do together to address it. It will be held on Tuesday, 11 March 2025, starting at 10:00 AM (CET) at Hub Social, C/Girona, 34, Barcelona, and online via YouTube.
Building on the insights and discussions from our November 2024 online conference, this final event will further explore the impact of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPLs) on human health and present actionable solutions across various sectors, including healthcare, public administration, industry, civil society and education. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the latest research findings and explore practical solutions to address this pressing global issue.
